[senco-forum] parts of speech poem (was punc posters)

Couldn't find my save files of posters, but found the following poem re
parts of speech.

Any use to anyone?

A noun’s the name of anything
Like house, or garden, boat or swing.
Instead of nouns you may prefer
The pronouns: you, or I or her.

Prepositions go before a noun
As in, through. under or around
An interjection shows surprise –
As Oh! How pretty, or Ah! How wise.

How things are done the adverb tells
As slowly, quickly, ill or well.
Conjunctions join two words together
As men and women or wind and weather.

The whole are called eight parts of speech,
Which reading, writing and speaking teach.

  Actually - brilliant people that you are - I have just had an idea. I am
going to get my Year 7 bottom sets in English to design and make punctuation
posters for the whole school - I'll put them up in all the English teaching
classrooms and so they will have to be accurate - I can do it in groups -
the pupils could be matched into groups of 3 - one to do full stops, one
commas, one speech marks etc etc................................I'll see how
it goes after half-term.
  We can printin colour at school and so they can use colour or draw them -
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
